USE INFORMATION

BRACKET^® 97 is an insecticide for control of pests on selected agricultural crops and in certain non-crop areas. The active ingredient in BRACKET^® 97 is acephate, a water-soluble insecticide readily absorbed by plant roots and foliage to give systemic control of feeding insects. Insect pests are generally controlled more effectively by BRACKET^® 97 through ingestion than by contact. To maintain control repeat application of BRACKET^® 97 as directed.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THE LABEL MAY RESULT IN POOR INSECT CONTROL, CROP INJURY, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

NOTE: This product is sold by weight and package is full when packed but, due to the product’s nature, settling is likely to occur.

MIXING AND COMPATIBILITY

Fill the spray tank one-third to one-half full of clean water with agitation running and add the required amount of BRACKET^® 97 Insecticide to the spray tank. Add remaining water to bring to the desired volume and maintain agitation during mixing, loading and application. Do not add any liquid fertilizers, micronutrients or adjuvants to the spray solution until the BRACKET^® 97 Insecticide has completely dissolved. BRACKET^® 97 should completely dissolve in approximately five minutes. Dissolution may be slowed by cold water, low level of agitation, or water containing high concentrations of boron or sulfur.

FIRE ANT CONTROL

Under prolonged hot and dry conditions, due to the location of ants deep in the nest, best results are obtained from applications made in the early morning or late afternoon when ants are most active.

TANK MIXES: Tank mixing or use of this product with any other product which is not specifically and expressly authorized by the label shall be the exclusive risk of user, applicator, and/or application advisor.

Read and follow the entire label of each product to be used in tank mixes with this product.

Ground Application: Apply with conventional ground equipment in sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage of the target crop.

Aerial Application: Make aerial applications in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre. Use sufficient carrier volume to provide thorough, uniform coverage.

Chemigation Application: This product may only be applied through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, travelers, big gun, solid set, or hand move. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Constant agitation must be maintained in the chemical supply tank during the entire period of insecticide application. Inject the product with a positive displacement pump into the main line ahead of a right turn to ensure adequate mixing.

(15)

Application of more than label-specified quantities of irrigation water per acre may result in decreased product performance by removing the chemical from the zone of effectiveness. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop may result from non-uniform distribution of treated water.

RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR APPLICATIONS THROUGH CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS

Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse/shadehouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.

• A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.

• The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.

• The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.

• The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

• Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

• Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

• If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts.

• Solid Set System: Apply specified dosage for the entire length of the irrigation period or for a 30 to 60 minute period at the end of a regular irrigation set or as a 30 to 60 minute injection as a separate application not associated with a regular irrigation. Allow time for all lines to flush the pesticide through all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. To ensure the lines are flushed and free of remaining pesticide, a dye indicator may be injected into the lines to mark the end of the application period. See Note below.

• Center Pivot Systems: Inject the specified dosage per acre continuously for one complete revolution of the system. See Note below

NOTE: Constant agitation must be maintained in the chemical supply tank during the entire period of insecticide application. Inject the product with a positive displacement pump into the main line ahead of a right turn to ensure adequate mixing.

BRACKET^® 97 can be tank mixed with registered at-cracking and early post-

emergence peanut herbicides, provided those products do not prohibit tank mixes, provided the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions are followed, and provided no label dosage rates are exceeded.

To determine physical compatibility, pour the specified proportions of each chemical with the same proportion of water as will be present in the chemical supply tank, into a suitable container. Mix thoroughly and allow to stand for five minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be remixed readily, the mixture is considered physically compatible. When mixing wettable powder or dry flowable

formulations, add and disperse these first, then add liquid pesticides. Do not use the mix combination if there is any separation which cannot be readily remixed. Combinations should be kept agitated and applied

immediately. Do not allow combinations to set for prolonged periods in the chemical supply tank or irrigation lines.
